Free tools software for linux

Java Tools is a lightweight integrated development environment for creating, compiling, and executing Java applications and applets.
Java Tools includes point and click access to the Java files, commands, and documents. It also includes a built-in text editor and user interface for the Java debugger.
It is intended for the new Java user who needs help getting started. Its also for the more experienced Java user who wants easy access to the Java commands and a text editor.
Main features:
- GUI with built-in help and small footprint.
- Point and click access to all files (Java, manifest, HTML, image and sound) and directories (package).
- Point and click access to all commands for compiling (javac), archiving (jar), documenting (javadoc), executing (java), debugging (jdb) and disassembling (javap).
- Point and click access to all documents (Java API Specification, Java Tools and Utilities, Java Features and Java Tutorial).
- Point and click creation of all files (Java, manifest and HTML) and directories (package).
- Point and click installation of distribution archive files (Java document, Java source code, Java Tutorial and Sun Tools).
- Automatic determination of class file dependencies for archiving (jar) and documenting (javadoc) Java files.
- Checking for unused, redundant and missing imports.
- Logging of all commands invoked by GUI.
- Code metrics for Java files.
- Built-in text editor (see Edit for details).
- Built-in user interface for the Java debugger with command-line editing and history.
- Self-installing executable (Java archive file).
- Comprehensive installation and user documentation for Java and Java Tools.

cdp-tools is a software that provides tools to work with the Cisco Discovery Protocol (CDP).
They were written because of a particular hosting center that insisted on learning routes using CDP, and thusly required Cisco Switches for doing their dirty work.
cdp-listen/cdp-routemgr are proof-of-concepts that may be useful if you want to implement a similarly brain-damaged proposal.
cdp-send is a must-have tool if you are in that situation. It can pretend to be just about any kind of Cisco hardware you can imagine.
The source is a bit difficult to follow as a requirement was that it build under both the ancient libnet and the new libnet code. hence, much nasty macro-ing.

lopster-tools is a set of tools for use with Lopster that allows users to view statistics for download and upload transfer, incomplete and finished files, how many MB are downloaded or uploaded, and the difference between down- and upload, amongst other features.

PHP Polar Tools project is a set of PHP classes that can parse and manage the Polar Heart Rate Monitor data.

Bio::Tools::AlignFactory is a base object for alignment factories.

SYNOPSIS

You wont be using this as an object, but using a dervied class like Bio::Tools::pSW

Holds common Alignment Factory attributes in place

Dustbowl Clan Tools project is a community system for e-sport teams and gaming clans.

It provides an integrated forum, scheduler, voting system, and lots of other features. It is PHP/MySQL-based and supports multiple languages.

QEMU Server Tools is a set of simple command-line scripts for managing multiple QEMU VMs easily without requiring a graphical frontend.

QEMU Server Tools organizes VMs into directories and mimics the usage of command line tools from VMware Server.

The Linux Wireless Extension and the Wireless Tools are an Open Source project sponsored by Hewlett Packard (through my contribution) since 1996, and build with the contribution of many Linux users all over the world.

The Wireless Extension (WE) is a generic API allowing a driver to expose to the user space configuration and statistics specific to common Wireless LANs. The beauty of it is that a single set of tool can support all the variations of Wireless LANs, regardless of their type (as long as the driver support Wireless Extension).

Another advantage is these parameters may be changed on the fly without restarting the driver (or Linux).

The Wireless Tools (WT) is a set of tools allowing to manipulate the Wireless Extensions. They use a textual interface and are rather crude, but aim to support the full Wireless Extension. There are many other tools you can use with Wireless Extensions, however Wireless Tools is the reference implementation.

iwconfig manipulate the basic wireless parameters
iwlist allow to initiate scanning and list frequencies, bit-rates, encryption keys...
iwspy allow to get per node link quality
iwpriv allow to manipulate the Wireless Extensions specific to a driver (private)
ifrename allow to name interfaces based on various static criteria

Most Linux distributions also have integrated Wireless Extensions support in their networking initialisation scripts, for easier boot-time configuration of wireless interfaces. They also include Wireless Tools as part of their standard packages.
Wireless configuration can also be done using the Hotplug scripts and distribution specific support, this enable the proper support of any removable wireless interface (Pcmcia, CardBus, USB...).

Any versions of the Pcmcia package offer the possibility to do wireless configuration of Pcmcia and Cardbus card through thefile wireless.opts. This allow to fully integrate wireless settings in the Pcmcia scheme mechansism. However, this method is now deprecated in favor of distribution specific methods.

Please note that the Wireless Tools (starting with version 19) supports fully IEEE 802.11 parameters and devices, support older style of devices and most proprietary protocols, and are prepared to handle HiperLan as well. More recent versions of course adds more 802.11 support.

But, unfortunately not all drivers support all these features...
